Between heaven and earth – Special role: the big puzzle around the vitamin C

Date:

“Krone” science expert Christian Mähr has had a handwritten note in his drawer for decades. It comes from a very special man with a weakness for vitamin C.

The man with the striking manuscript was an American, but wanted to lead the interview in German – he had studied in Germany for a while. Such a piece of paper is waste in the word. I have been storing this one newspaper for more than 40 years now, the author of the lines has been dead for 30 years. No chemistry -student passes through the conditions that this man has introduced in science in the course of his long life. Orbital hybridization for example. Without them you could not explain multiple bindings in molecules that there would be nothing we mean today by “organic chemistry”. He also revealed what proteins look like in spatial expansion.
